Avis car hire were a disappointment
Thank you again Nicole for all your help and excellent service.
Sean was a legend. Sorted out our problem whilst we were in Florida. Oliver and the whole team have been brilliant, wouldn’t use any other company
Brilliant service from Paul - will definitely use again.
We can't fault Wayne Bailey for his excellent service but I would 100% steer clear of flying Finnair again
We had the best time - a HUGE thank you to Libby for all her hard work and patience during our booking.
Stuart was absolutely brilliant from the moment he picked up the phone. He was very attentive, gave us the best advice and we took it. Certainly would not book with anyone else in the future.
Wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kirsty again in the future
Very helpful and knowledgeable
Stan was fantastic from start to finish.
100% professional service
Really satisfied with DialAflight, your staff and our agent Sebastian.
Thank you Raphael for all your help with booking our magical holiday to Florida! Always efficient and answered any question I had regarding our trip which was perfect!
Jerry was amazing again. He made sure I had all my paperwork ready. All of the accommodation was great in fantastic locations.
I'd heartily recommend DialAFlight
Connie was fantastic from start to finish!
My family cannot thank Aidan enough. He is so professional and ensures from the very start of our booking to the end that everything is OK. If we need help it is done Immediately. We always go through DialAFlight. Thanks again
As usual, Kieran was brilliant in helping us to sort out our flights and provide reassurance as uncertainty around the airports and flights became apparent. We always use DialAFlight
We have used DialAFlight several times and they have never let us down. They always go that extra mile to ensure we go on holiday knowing they have sorted everything. Thanks so much to Vinnie and the team, we wouldn’t use anyone else
Danny has been great throughout, we’d definitely contact him first for future holidays
Excellent as always. Harry Clark was brilliant and responsive from quote through to travel
Vinnie was excellent as always in helping us to organise a big family trip to Florida
Great service as ever. Everything went as planned. Advice and support for travel really helpful. Excellent service with thanks to Declan and Orlando.
This was booked over a difficult period with covid and the holiday was moved on twice plus we added one person to our party of 14. Elliot stuck with it and we finally got our holiday. This was the 3rd time we have used DialAFlight.
As always a good service by Ross (and Team).
Kylie and the team are amazing - please pass on our thanks.
Lucy MacNab. Superb! So patient and attentive, lots of suggestions offered great advice! So much so that we’ve booked a further trip and flights for a third holiday!
Thank you Ash for your input, everything went smoothly.
Libby and Co were just amazing
24hrs service, quick action taken. I would highly recommend them because they were there when I needed them, during my difficult time with a flight.
I've always longed to visit the Florida Keys because it sounds so romantic. I'm a huge fan of the 1948 movie Key Largo, which starred Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. And of course, the area has a strong connection with Ernest Hemingway - the author lived on Key West.
Fans still turn up in Key Largo every October for the annual Humphrey Bogart Film Festival. One highlight is a chance of a cruise on the fully restored African Queen, the original boat from John Huston's 1951 film of the same name starring Bogart and Katharine Hepburn.
Hemingway fans aren't forgotten either. The annual Hemingway Lookalike competition takes place in July at Key West bar Sloppy Joe's. An entire bar full of Hemingway clones sounds slightly frightening but each to their own.
My actor husband Trevor and I had long ago decided we wanted to visit the Keys, but never seemed to get around to it. However, a pleasure deferred is a pleasure intensified.
After our plane touched down in Miami, we rented a car and headed south. It may not look far on the map but from Miami to Key West is around 150 miles - a three-hour drive because the road isn't brilliant.
We were based at Sunset Key Cottages, reached from the Westin Key West Resort and Marina.
At the Westin we were ushered aboard a little ferry and whisked across to the amazing Sunset Key. It was a fabulous away-from-it-all place but had the advantage of the bustling delights of Key West on its doorstep.
NOSTALGIA
We immediately fell in love with Key West and its coloured clapboard houses. For many young Americans, this is a vibrant party town.
Main Street at night is a delight because so much goes on: music pouring from crowded bars and the occasional Hemingway lookalike waiting for his big day!
During the day there are several interesting places to visit. I enjoyed the Little White House, the holiday home of US President Harry Truman, famous for his remark 'the buck stops here'.
It was on his watch that atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki - the responsibility must have been immense. Another unmissable place is the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum. The writer lived here for ten years during one of his most prolific writing periods. The main attraction here is its 50 six-toed cats.
Hemingway was given a white six-toed cat by a ship's captain, and some of the cats who live in the museum grounds are descendants of that original feline, named Snow White.
There is also a good Tennessee Williams exhibition in Key West - the author had a home here for 34 years. It was in Key West that he is believed to have completed the final draft of A Streetcar Named Desire.
For most of the time, however, we were content to bask in serenity on our 27-acre island, which was a naval base before it was acquired by the Westin. It was a little piece of paradise.
ISLAND PARADISE
One minute we were in Key West, with its tourist bustle and huge cruise ships - the big Disney liners a particular feature - but when we crossed back to our island, all the noise disappeared.
We had an idyllic white-sand beach and azure waters. It was the best five days we've ever had. Sublime. Watching the sun go down is a big event in Key West - everybody stops to watch. And when it got dark we loved looking up at the stars.
After our Key West stay we drove back to Miami. We were staying in Miami Beach, at the very southern end of the resort. We met some really cool people.
One of my great pleasures was swimming in the ocean - so warm and silky. I'm a Liverpudlian and Liverpudlians have a special love for the US - Liverpool used to the main port for travel to America. Our city is where all the Cunarders used to sail from.
If you're staying in Miami, I would recommend dining at the fantastic Seaspice on the Miami River.
They serve what is described as a 'globally inspired menu' featuring a raw bar and dishes ranging from wood-fired casseroles to Dover sole and branzino, a type of seabass. The views over the city and the river are also very special.
A lot of people think that Florida means Disney World or the start of a cruise, but if you're prepared to search a little further you'll discover that there's much, much more.
